Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of MK-8237 (SCH 900237) in the treatment of House Dust Mite (HDM)-Induced Allergic Rhinitis/Rhinoconjunctivitis (AR/ARC) in children and adults.

The primary hypothesis of this study is that administration of MK-8237, compared to placebo, results in significant reduction in the average total combined rhinitis score (TCRS).

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Average Total Combined Rhinitis Score (TCRS) During Last 8 Weeks of Treatment The TCRS is the sum of the rhinitis Daily Symptom Score (DSS; range: 0 to 12) and the rhinitis Daily Medication Score (DMS; range: 0 to 12); the total possible TCRS ranges from 0 to 24 points with higher scores indicative of greater symptom severity. The endpoint was calculated as the average daily diary entry score from the last 8 weeks of treatment. Last 8 weeks of treatment (Weeks 44 to 52)
Primary Number of Participants Who Experience At Least One Adverse Event (AE) An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. Up to 54 weeks
Primary Number of Participants Who Discontinue Study Drug Due to an AE An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. Up to 52 weeks
Secondary Average Rhinitis Daily Symptom Score (Rhinitis DSS) During Last 8 Weeks of Treatment The Rhinitis DSS ranges from a score of 0 to 12 (higher scores indicative of greater symptom severity). The endpoint was calculated as the average daily diary entry score from the last 8 weeks of treatment. Last 8 weeks of treatment (Weeks 44 to 52)
Secondary Average Rhinitis Daily Medication Score (Rhinitis DMS) During Last 8 Weeks of Treatment The Rhinitis DMS ranges from a score of 0 to 12 (higher scores indicative of greater symptomatic medication use). The endpoint was calculated as the average daily diary entry score from the last 8 weeks of treatment. Last 8 weeks of treatment (Weeks 44 to 52)
Secondary Average Total Combined Rhinoconjunctivitis Score (TCS) During Last 8 Weeks of Treatment The TCS is the sum of the rhinoconjunctivitis DSS (rhinitis DSS and conjunctivitis DSS; range: 0 to 18) and the rhinoconjunctivitis DMS (rhinitis DMS and conjunctivitis DMS; range: 0 to 20); the total possible TCS ranges from 0 to 38 points with higher scores indicative of greater symptom severity. The endpoint was calculated as the average daily diary entry score from the last 8 weeks of treatment. Last 8 weeks of treatment (Weeks 44 to 52)
Secondary Average Allergic Rhinitis/Rhinoconjunctivitis Symptoms Assessed by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) During Last 8 Weeks of Treatment Participants indicated the severity of symptoms in the past week on a VAS with a score range of 0 ("no symptoms") to 100 ("severe symptoms"). Symptoms were assessed during 2 clinic visits occurring during the final 8 weeks of treatment (VAS score reflects the mean of 2 scores). Last 8 weeks of treatment (Weeks 44 to 52)
